Magnesium alloy pins for hammertoe correction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of pin made from a magnesium alloy to fix hammertoe deformity (a toe that curls up). The pin is designed to be absorbed by the body over time, so it may not need to be removed later. The study aims to see if this pin works well for straightening the toe and relieving pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how different treatments affect walking in people with hammertoe and nerve damage in their feet. It may help find better ways to improve foot function and comfort.
This trial tests an investigational treatment called KN3835 for flexible or semi-flexible hammertoe, a condition where one of your toe joints bends downward. The treatment is given as an injection and may help straighten the toe and reduce pain.
This trial tests a new type of pin made from a special material to fix a broken wrist bone (distal radius) in children. The pin may help the bone heal without needing a second surgery to remove it.
This trial studies using a magnesium pin during keyhole surgery to fix a torn rotator cuff. It may help your shoulder heal better.
This trial tests new magnesium pins to hold a membrane in place during a dental bone graft procedure. It may help people who don't have enough bone in their upper jaw for dental implants.
This trial tests a new type of plate and screw made from a special magnesium material that slowly dissolves in the body. It is used to fix jawbones during surgery, and because the material dissolves, you may not need a second surgery to remove the hardware.
